Creator:: Alejandro-Castro, Mabel
Abstract:: The ability of controlled livestock grazing, in combination with seeding of palatable forages, to reduce understory competition and enhance conifer establishment, was evaluated during 1985 and 1986, on two adjacent sites in southwestern Oregon. In 1984, Site 1 was clearcut and broadcast burned to remove slash, and Site 2 was...

Creator:: DeMeo, Thomas
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three parts: 1) a field case study involving tree growth, moisture stress, and foliar nitrogen response to sheep-grazed pasture treatments; 2) a shadehouse (potted-plant) study of simulated grazing effects on tree growth and moisture use; and 3) a summary, synthesizing results of the field and shadehouse...

Abstract:: Southwest Oregon presents an environment of hot dry summers, cool moist winters, and rocky, shallow soils. The establishment of conifer plantations in this region presents challenging problems for initial seedling survival and subsequent growth. Three areas of concern include early conifer growth after seedling establishment, growth of competing hardwoods within...

Creator:: Chen, Fen-Hui
Abstract:: Weed control in Pacific Northwest forests has been criticized for its potential impact on biodiversity. Changes were evaluated in conifer growth, diversity of vegetation in situ and of recruiting plants through different regeneration mechanisms after applying temporally-varied weed control by herbicide treatments based on the critical period concept. Conifer size...

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...
